2008 Quilting Goals

That is the plan! Scrap quilts! First, however, I will finish my pink and brown, machine piece the hidden star and put that in the hoop next, finish the applique on my Underground Railroad sampler, and of course FINISH THE MASTERPIECE BLOCK. Yes, I got stuck on a teeney tiny acorn and I threw it aside (literally). I am refreshed in my goal to get it finished and get the next one underway. I really picked about the most difficult one to begin with. These goals should be met by summer, but after the Hidden Star is pieced, I need another machine piecing project. Of course I have the Winter 4 seasons swap piece to do, but that will only take a weekend (if that) to do on the machine. I will hand quilt it. I have my PIF gifts to make, which is exciting. I have not figured out what I will make yet. Something quilty, I think. My plan for further machine work is "scrap quilts". I always thought I had a pretty good size stash, but I really have very little in comparison to many other quilting bloggers. Still I need to use up what I have. Some of these fabrics I have had for 10 years or more. I have Thimbleberry Paintbox if that tells you anything (from it's first release!) So the year will be full of quilting projects! Now I have a question for all you quilter's who make stash quilts...what is the BEST way you have found to pre cut, store, plan out, your stash to be used in the making of stash quilts??? I think I definitely want to make a log cabin so 2 inch strips would be a way to go I am sure. Please share...maybe even a blog post showing your process and plan. Remember...organized is good!
